Hi guys,
I have just moved to Manila recently. Since I've come here myself so I am still on the mood of confusing a lot :'(

Do you guys know any apps that I can talk and connect with people for some advices when living here? (ideally people who live in Thai and speak English well)
Eg: place to buy second hand stuffs, suggested location to hang around, etc

Many thx! <3

That is true. Getting around the metro since people here can understand and talk in english. Maybe you can download Grab and Uber for more convenient travelling.

Have you found an app that you need? If you just need an advice or tip or anything and reading forums doesn't give you the exact answer that you need, I may be able to help you. I use whatsapp. If you just need to ask questions about a place to hang out, where to buy cheap stuff or any other general tips, let me know.

I had been looking for something like this too when I went to Thailand because I didn't know anyone there and I spent countless hours reading forums which didn't exactly give me the info I need.

Hi,
I'd be more than glad to help you with whatever help you need while living in MetroManila.  My niece manages an orphanage in Chiang Mai and has been doing so for the past 10 years.

Second hand stuff you can get almost anywhere around the corner.  In Makati, there's one at the corner of J.P. Rizal/Makati Avenue, Barangay Poblacion.  There's one at the corner of J.P. Rizal/ Pasong Tamo also in Makati City.

Suggested locations to hang around would be at church organizatsions, fitness clubs, museums?
